Okay. But aren't there more "injustices" going on in the country?
Aren't there a lot of problems that affect WAY more people than what the LGBT community has? The LGBT community makes up less than 1% of all of the US -- this is WAY down from what they "estimated" at 10% of the US. I understand standing up for injustices, but to me, there are many more things that could be moved to the top of the list of injustices compared to the "homosexual marriage" debate.
The way that I see it, the main "injustice" that is being talked about is whether lesbians and gay men should be able to get "married." Why is it such a big deal? Honestly? I just don't see why marriage is the biggest issue here. The same benefits could be had if a person just sets their Will up to allow for everything to go to their significant other.
I just don't understand why this is pushed to the top of the "injustice" list and EVERY media outlet has to talk about it constantly. I don't need to be made aware of the LGBT issues when I go to ESPN.com. It doesn't need to be there, but it is. I say the same think about the "pink" movement with breast cancer.
